RAZOR BLADE HOLDER Filed .July 21, 1952 INVENTOR dosage/7 Voqf ATTORNEY scription taken in connection Patented Feb. 28, 1933 RAZOR BLADE mama Application filed July 21,

The invention isa device for holding razor blades so that they may be used as a knife for various purposes and is so arranged that both sides of each edge are continuously held between two clamping members.

The object of the invention is to provide a device for holding razor blades so that the blade may readily be used as a knife.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device for holding razor blades which frictionally holds both sides of the blade continuously at each edge thereof.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device for holding razor blades which has only two parts.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device for holding razor blades which is formed of two pieces of material and so arranged that one piece of material is clamped in the other and the razor blade is clamped between the two pieces of material.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a device for holding razor blades which is provided withme'ans for locating and holding the blade in the proper position.

And a: still further object of the invention is to provide a device for holding razor blades which is of a comparatively simple and economical construction.

With these ends in view the invention embodies a back with projections thereon for locating a razor blade and flanges at the edges, and a plate adapted to be frictionally held in said flanges and also adapted to cooperate with a portion of the back to hold a razor blade. 7

Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following dewith the drawing, wherein:

Figure 4 is a cross section thru the handle of the device.

Figure 5 is a similar section thru the blade holding portion of the device.
